KREBS & RIEDEL Schleifscheibenfabrik GmbH & Co. KG

The family-owned business, KREBS & RIEDEL, has been producing grinding wheels since its foundation in 1895 in Bad Karlshafen. It is one of the leading German manufacturers of grinding wheels with its over 220 committed employees. The export quota of approximately 40 % of sales shows the strong international orientation of the company.

The delivery programme includes conventional grinding and cutting wheels in corundum and silicon carbide. Since 1985 the company has also manufactured highly productive vitrified CBN and diamond grinding wheels due to the increasing demands of its customers.

The grinding tools conform to the exact requirements of every single customer. KREBS & RIEDEL’s aims are fully defined in close dialogue with the customers as, for example, an increase of the stock removal performance or upgraded surface quality etc. The tool for the customer is then produced by a specific selection of the components of abrasive and binder as well as an aligned structural form. The process is fully optimized in many cases because of common and local optimizing measures.

The clients’ satisfaction as with the quality of the products is the centre of the attention. Reliability, a good after-sales-service, and the highest quality standards are basic conditions for that purpose. KREBS & RIEDEL does not see itself only as a producer of grinding wheels but also as a service provider for the customers. Together requirements are determined and process solutions and improvements are worked out. KREBS & RIEDEL is available to every customer in every sector.
